It's a good scope. optically there is nothing better for the price. If you spend more you can get bigger which will show you more. But if that is your budget there really is nothing better and a 6 inch scope will show you plenty. I would also join the list of good reviews. Patrick Moore likes skywatcher scopes and if they are good enough for him to endorse, they are good enough for me.

Hi

A 6"Dob is an ideal starter scope. It will show the Moon, planets and many deep sky objects well.

They're pretty robust, light and about as portable as you can get.

The longer f/8 ratios mean that collimating is painless and will normally stay put for a considerable time unless the scope is really bashed. Cheaper eyepieces will perform ok too.

Set up time is simply as long as it takes to walk outside with it.

All in all a great choice.

Regards Steve

A very capable instrument indeed. You're in a win win situation too.

If you are buying at a fair price, you are likely to get most of your outlay back should upgrade to a larger aperture in future.

The 150's hold their price well.

Ron.

great telescopes

for me, i would stick with an F5, they can give what the slower scopes can but you wont get the field of view from a slow one as you would the fast.

as for collimation, nowt to worry about there, its pretty simple, especially with a laser collimator

Most dealers have Optical Vision send these directly to the customer, so unless a dealer has one in stock you'll probably find you get the same answer from most places. Might be worth PM'ing FLO to see if they can help you out :)

I have the 200P dob, perfect for newbies like myself and it just fits across the back seat of the car - any bigger and I would of been stuffed!

Cracking scope - cheap price - not too big to carry/transport - Crayford focuser - win/win situation for me!!
